I am not in Omaha area so my vote will not help Obama, but maybe just maybe that thug Deb Fisher will loose to Kerry. I grew up out West in Colorado on a ranch. Where I came from, the stunt she pulled gets you shot faster than stealing water. People at work are stunned by her nastiness. I am hoping we pull it out for Kerry.

(6,843 posts)An older couple, her neighbors, let her graze her cattle for free on their land. The Fisher's wanted to buy the property, but the older couple refused. Even though they did not raise cattle any longer, the land was generational in the family, and they wanted to keep it.
Anyway, out west, there is a bit of a "use it or lose it" legal system with land and water rights. So the Fisher's sued the older couple claiming squatter's rights to try to steal their land.
Of course the cherry on top is the millions Ms. Fisher has fleeced the federal government for over the years for farm subsidies she never needed.
She is a monster.

(12,254 posts)not too long ago, only a retired widow's waterfront home was confiscated in the name of public domain. I find that tremendously unnerving. Thanks for your vote! Kerry is great and you guys deserve ethical representation.
